Some progress: I compiled it with the right CFLAGS. Version 0.6.4 produces a nm-pptp-auth-dialog binary instead of nm-ppp-auth-dialog from the previous version. Was it renamed?
If I run the test given by onlymee earlier in the thread, but with the new filename, I get: $ /usr/libexec/nm-pptp-auth-dialog -s org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.ppp_starter -n "Test Connection" This dialog works only with the 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp' service. Using this instead: $ /usr/libexec/nm-pptp-auth-dialog -s org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp -n "Test Connection" outputs the username and password in stdout correctly (no segfault). The program doesn't terminate at all, though -- it keeps the dialog open until I give it Ctrl-C; is this intended? Executive summary: segfault is gone with the two patches to main.c and gnome-two-password-dialog.c applied to NetworkManager-0.6.4/vpn- daemons/pptp/. Removing the second patch brings it back again. This is on AMD64. -- Crash while trying to connect to PPTP server https://launchpad.net/bugs/67881 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
